Meta-Analysis Review
OBJECTIVE
Biomimetic stents are peripheral infrainguinal self expanding stents that mimic the anatomy of the vasculature and artery movement. They are indicated for use in infrainguinal arteries. This research aimed to synthesise all current evidence on the use of biomimetic stents as adjuncts for endovascular treatment of infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease (PAD), helping to guide clinical decision making.
DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane databases.
REVIEW METHODS
Random effects meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO registration CRD42022385256). Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools checklist, and certainty assessment through the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). Endpoints included primary patency, target lesion revascularisation, stent fracture, secondary patency, and Death at one year.
RESULTS
In total, 37 studies were included in the meta-analysis (33 cohort studies, two case series, and two randomised controlled trials [RCTs]), representing 4 480 participants. Of these, 34 studies included data on the Supera (81.5% of participants) and three studies reported data on the BioMimics 3D (18.5% of participants) stents. The pooled primary patency rate of 33 studies at one year follow up was 81.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 78.7 - 83.9%), and the pooled target lesion revascularisation rate of 18 studies at one year was 12.2% (95% CI 9.6 - 15.0%). The certainty of evidence outcome rating as qualified by GRADE was very low for both. Only one study reported a positive stent fracture rate at one year follow up of 0.4% with a certainty of evidence outcome of low.
CONCLUSION
Using biomimetic stents for infrainguinal PAD may be associated with acceptable one year primary patency and target lesion revascularisation rates, with a near negligible one year stent fracture rate. Their use should be considered in those presenting with infrainguinal PAD undergoing endovascular revascularisation. A RCT is necessary to determine their clinical and cost effectiveness.

INTRODUCTION
Heatstroke (HS) is a severe form of heat-related illness (HRI) associated with high morbidity and mortality, representing a condition that includes long-term multiorgan dysfunction and susceptibility to further heat illness.
METHODS
In a systematic review searching Medline PubMed from the studies conducted between 2009 and 2020, 16 papers were identified.
RESULTS
A hallmark symptom of heat stroke is CNS dysfunction (a hallmark sign of HS) which manifests as mental status changes, including agitation, delirium, epilepsy, or coma at the time of the collapse. Acute kidney injury (AKI), gut ischemia, blood clots in the stomach and small intestine, cytoplasmic protein clumps in the spleen, and injury of skeletal muscle (rhabdomyolysis) are all characteristics of peripheral tissue damage. Severe heat stroke tends to be complicated by rhabdomyolysis, especially in patients with exertional heat stroke. Rhabdomyolysis may lead to systemic effects, including the local occurrence of compartment syndrome, hyperkalemic cardiac arrest, and/or lethal disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Untreated heat stroke might exacerbate psychosis, lactic acidosis, consumptive coagulopathy, hematuria, pulmonary edema, renal failure, and other metabolic abnormalities. Core body temperature and level of consciousness are the most significant indicators to diagnose the severity of heat stroke and prevent unfavorable consequences. Heatstroke is a life-threatening illness if not promptly recognized and effectively treated.
DISCUSSION
This review highlighted that core body temperature and white blood cell count are significant contributing factors affecting heat stroke outcomes. Other factors contributing to the poor outcome include old age, low GCS, and prolonged hospital stay. The prevalence of both classic and exertional heatstroke can be reduced by certain simple preventive measures, such as avoiding strenuous activity in hot environments and reducing exposure to heat stress.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Critical limb-threatening ischaemia is a life-threatening disease which often combines with infrapopliteal arterial disease. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is recommended as the first-line treatment for infrapopliteal arterial disease. Drug-eluting stent (DES) is another widely used option; however, its long-term therapeutic effect is controversial. The effectiveness of different DES for infrapopliteal arterial disease needs further exploration.
METHODS AND RESULTS
The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Clinical trials were systematically searched from inception to 1 February 2023. Literatures were included if the study was original, peer-reviewed, published in English or Chinese, and contained patients diagnosed with simple infrapopliteal arterial disease or with properly treated combined inflow tract lesions before or during the study procedure. A total of 953 patients, 504 in the DES group and 449 in the PTA/bare-metal stenting (BMS) group, from 12 randomised controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that DES is superior to control group for improving clinical patency, reducing the restenosis rate, and reducing the amputation rate at 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years post-treatment [at 3 years, risk ratio (RR): 1.90, 95% CI 1.23-2.93; RR: 0.87, 95% CI 0.79-0.96; RR: 0.60, 95% CI 0.36-1.00, P =0.049]. In addition, subgroup analyses suggested that DES is superior to BMS and PTA in improving clinical patency and reducing target lesion revascularisation and restenosis rates at 6-month and 1-year post-treatment. The network meta-analysis indicated that sirolimus-eluting stent was superior for improving clinical patency (at 1 year, RR: 0.23, 95% CI 0.08-0.60) and reducing the restenosis rate (at 6 months, RR: 31.58, 95% CI 4.41-307.53, at 1 year, RR: 3.80, 95% CI 1.84-8.87) significantly. However, according to the cumulative rank probabilities test, everolimus-eluting stent may have the lowest target lesion revascularisation rates and amputation rates at 1-year post-treatment (the cumulative rank probability was 77% and 49%, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
This systematic review and network meta-analysis showed that DES was associated with more clinical efficacy than PTA/BMS significantly. In addition, sirolimus-eluting stent and everolimus-eluting stent may have better clinical benefits.

Review
The current literature strongly supports the use of supervised exercise therapy (SET) as the first-line treatment for symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) such as intermittent claudication (IC). However, this form of treatment remains underutilised in clinical practice. The home-based exercise therapy (HBET), in which patients must conduct themselves unsupervised is generally less effective than SET in terms of improving functional walking capacity. Nevertheless, it may be a useful alternative where SET is unavailable. The objective of this systematic review is to determine the effectiveness of HBET in reducing symptoms of IC in patients with PAD. Studies eligible for inclusion in this systematic review were parallel-group randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in the English language that compared the effect of HBET to a comparator arm (SET or no exercise/attention control) in adults with PAD and IC. Studies were eligible if outcome measures were available at baseline and at 12 weeks of follow-up or more. The electronic databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library were searched from the earliest records up to January 2021. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool for RCTs (RoB 2) was used to assess the risk of bias in individual studies, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) classification system was used to appraise the quality of evidence for each outcome across all studies. The primary investigator independently collected, pooled, and analysed the data. The data was then entered into the ReviewManager 5 (RevMan 5) software, and a meta-analysis was performed by using a fixed or random effects model depending on the presence or absence of statistical heterogeneity. The review author identified seven RCTs involving a total of 754 patients which were included in this study. Overall, the risk of bias in the included studies was moderate. Even though the results were variable, this analysis supported the ability of HBET to improve functional walking capacity and self-reported quality of life (QoL) to an extent. This review shows that a home-based exercise intervention with regular professional support and encouragement is beneficial in improving functional walking capacity as well as some aspects of QoL in patients with PAD and IC when compared to no exercise. However, when HBET is compared to hospital-based supervised exercise intervention, SET yields greater benefits.

Meta-Analysis
AIMS
The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a tool for assessing the risk of malnutrition (undernutrition) that can be calculated from albumin concentration, total peripheral lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol concentration. CONUT score has been proposed as a promising prognostic marker in several clinical settings; however, a consensus on its prognostic value in patients with stroke is lacking. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the relationship between CONUT score and clinical outcomes in patients with stroke based on all current available studies.
DATA SYNTHESIS
Systematic research on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from inception to February 2023 was performed on the association between CONUT score and clinical outcomes in patients with stroke. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment tool. Pooled effect estimation was calculated by a random-effect model. Through the initial literature search, 15 studies (all high-quality) including 16 929 patients were found to be eligible and analysed in the meta-analysis. A significant risk of malnutrition (in most studies defined by a CONUT score ≥5) was directly associated with mortality, higher risk of poor functional outcome according to the modified Rankin Scale and total infection development. Evidence was consistent for acute ischaemic stroke and preliminary for acute haemorrhagic stroke.
CONCLUSION
CONUT score is an independent prognostic indicator, and it is associated with major disability and infection development during hospitalisation.

Meta-Analysis Review
BACKGROUND
Recently, increased risk of amputation under sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors has been debated. Similar concerns have been raised with other "traditional" diuretics, more particularly in patients with or at risk of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD).
AIM
To collect all available data on any potential risk of amputation associated with diuretics in patients with or at risk of LEAD. Additionally, we looked for other limb-related events in these patients.
METHODS
We searched in PubMed, Embase and Scopus databases up to February 2021 for references, using peripheral or lower extremity arterial disease, diuretics and amputation keywords, excluding case reports, experimental animal studies and non-English reports.
RESULTS
Among the 1376 hits identified in the databases, six studies were finally included in this review, including one cross-sectional and five longitudinal studies (total of 47,612 participants). One study was limited to thiazide diuretics, one focused on loop diuretics and the remainder mixed all diuretics. All studies reported a significant association between diuretic use and amputation risk in patients with or at high risk of LEAD. Despite some limitations in several studies, the meta-analysis showed an increased risk of amputation associated with diuretics (odds ratio: 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.53-1.99; P<0.001). Beyond amputation, patients with or at risk of LEAD under diuretics appeared to be at increased risk of other lower limb events, mostly in the presence of other comorbidities, including diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS
Although the amount of data in the literature is scarce, this first systematic review and meta-analysis favours an increased risk of amputation in patients with or at risk of LEAD under diuretics. Further prospective studies must be conducted to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms. Meanwhile, the use of diuretics in these patients should be parsimonious, considering alternatives whenever possible.

Meta-Analysis Review
OBJECTIVE
This systematic review and meta-analysis reports the outcomes of catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) in patients with not immediately threatening (Rutherford I) acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI).
DATA SOURCES
PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.
REVIEW METHODS
A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed to identify observational studies and trials published between 1990 and 2022 reporting on the results of CDT in patients with Rutherford I ALI. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The outcomes of interests were treatment duration, angiographic success, bleeding complications, amputation and mortality rates, primary and secondary patency, and functional outcome expressed as pain free walking distance.
RESULTS
Thirty-nine studies were included, comprising 1 861 patients who received CDT for not immediately threatening ALI. Funnel plots showed an indication of publication bias, and heterogeneity was substantial. Data from 5 to 13 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled treatment duration was 2 days (95% CI 1 - 2), with an angiographic success rate of 80% (95% CI 73 - 86) and a 30 day freedom of amputation rate of 98% (95% CI 92 - 100). The major bleeding rate was 5% (95% CI 2 - 14), with a 30 day mortality rate of 3% (95% CI 1 - 5). The amputation free survival rate was 71% (95% CI 62 - 80) at the one year and 63% (95% CI 51 - 73) at the three year follow up. Long term patency rates were retrieved from four studies: 48% at one year (95% CI 27 - 70). No data could be retrieved on patient walking distance.
CONCLUSION
Although CDT in the treatment of not immediately threatening ALI showed high angiographic success, the long term outcomes were relatively poor, with low patency and a substantial risk of major amputation. Further research is required to interpret the outcome of CDT in the context of potential confounders such as age and comorbidities.

BACKGROUND
Endovascular treatment has become the first-line therapy for infrapopliteal artery occlusive disease (IPOD), while the optimal endovascular method remains to be determined. We performed a network meta-analysis (NWM) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to simultaneously compare the outcomes of different endovascular modalities for IPOD.
METHODS AND RESULTS
The Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were used as data sources. The NWM approach used random-effects models based on the frequentist framework. In total, 22 eligible RCTs (44 study arms; 1,348 patients) involving nine endovascular modalities or combinations [balloon angioplasty (BA), drug-coated balloon (DCB), drug-eluting stent (DES), atherectomy device + BA (AD + BA), AD + DCB, balloon-expandable bare metal stent (BMS), self-expanding stent (SES), absorbable metal stents (AMS), and inorganics-coated stent (ICS)] were included. BA had a lower 12-month primary patency rate than DCB (RR 0.50, CI 0.27, 0.93) and AD + DCB (RR 0.34, CI 0.12, 0.93). AD + DCB decreased 6-month TLR compared with AMS (RR 0.15, CI 0.03, 0.90), and DES decreased it compared with BMS (RR 0.25, CI 0.09, 0.71). DCB had a lower 6-month TLR rate than AMS (RR 0.26, CI 0.08, 0.86) and BA (RR 0.51, CI 0.30, 0.89). BA had a higher 12-month TLR rate than DCB (RR 1.76, CI 1.07, 2.90). According to the value of the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA), AD + DCB was considered the best treatment in terms of primary patency at 6 months (SUCRA = 87.5) and 12 months (SURCA = 91). AD + BA was considered the best treatment in terms of 6-month TLR (SUCRA = 83.1), 12-month TLR (SURCA = 75.8), and 12-month all-cause mortality (SUCRA = 92.5). In terms of 12-month major amputation, DES was considered the best treatment (SUCRA = 78.6), while AD + DCB was considered the worst treatment (SUCRA = 28.8). Moreover, AD + BA always ranks higher than AD + DCB in the comparison including these two combinations. Subgroup analyses of modalities without stenting did not significantly change the primary outcomes.
CONCLUSION
ADs showed noteworthy advantages in multiple terms for IPOD except for 12-month major amputation. AD + BA may be a better method for IPOD than AD + DCB. The efficacy and safety of ADs are worthy of further investigation.

Review
BACKGROUND
This is the third update of the review first published in 2017. Hypertension is a prominent preventable cause of premature morbidity and mortality. People with hypertension and established cardiovascular disease are at particularly high risk, so reducing blood pressure to below standard targets may be beneficial. This strategy could reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity but could also increase adverse events. The optimal blood pressure target in people with hypertension and established cardiovascular disease remains unknown.
OBJECTIVES
To determine if lower blood pressure targets (systolic/diastolic 135/85 mmHg or less) are associated with reduction in mortality and morbidity compared with standard blood pressure targets (140 mmHg to 160mmHg/90 mmHg to 100 mmHg or less) in the treatment of people with hypertension and a history of cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, peripheral vascular occlusive disease).
SEARCH METHODS
For this updated review, we used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was January 2022. We applied no language restrictions.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with more than 50 participants per group that provided at least six months' follow-up. Trial reports had to present data for at least one primary outcome (total mortality, serious adverse events, total cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality). Eligible interventions involved lower targets for systolic/diastolic blood pressure (135/85 mmHg or less) compared with standard targets for blood pressure (140 mmHg to 160 mmHg/90 mmHg to 100 mmHg or less). Participants were adults with documented hypertension and adults receiving treatment for hypertension with a cardiovascular history for myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic peripheral vascular occlusive disease, or angina pectoris.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
We used standard Cochrane methods. We used GRADE to assess the certainty of the evidence.
MAIN RESULTS
We included seven RCTs that involved 9595 participants. Mean follow-up was 3.7 years (range 1.0 to 4.7 years). Six of seven RCTs provided individual participant data. None of the included studies was blinded to participants or clinicians because of the need to titrate antihypertensive drugs to reach a specific blood pressure goal. However, an independent committee blinded to group allocation assessed clinical events in all trials. Hence, we assessed all trials at high risk of performance bias and low risk of detection bias. We also considered other issues, such as early termination of studies and subgroups of participants not predefined, to downgrade the certainty of the evidence. We found there is probably little to no difference in total mortality (risk ratio (RR) 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91 to 1.23; 7 studies, 9595 participants; moderate-certainty evidence) or cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.29; 6 studies, 9484 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Similarly, we found there may be little to no differences in serious adverse events (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.08; 7 studies, 9595 participants; low-certainty evidence) or total cardiovascular events (including myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden death, hospitalization, or death from congestive heart failure (CHF)) (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.00; 7 studies, 9595 participants; low-certainty evidence). The evidence was very uncertain about withdrawals due to adverse effects. However, studies suggest more participants may withdraw due to adverse effects in the lower target group (RR 8.16, 95% CI 2.06 to 32.28; 3 studies, 801 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings were lower in the lower target group (systolic: mean difference (MD) -8.77 mmHg, 95% CI -12.82 to -4.73; 7 studies, 8657 participants; diastolic: MD -4.50 mmHg, 95% CI -6.35 to -2.65; 6 studies, 8546 participants). More drugs were needed in the lower target group (MD 0.56, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.96; 5 studies, 7910 participants), but blood pressure targets at one year were achieved more frequently in the standard target group (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.17 to 1.23; 7 studies, 8699 participants).
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS
We found there is probably little to no difference in total mortality and cardiovascular mortality between people with hypertension and cardiovascular disease treated to a lower compared to a standard blood pressure target. There may also be little to no difference in serious adverse events or total cardiovascular events. This suggests that no net health benefit is derived from a lower systolic blood pressure target. We found very limited evidence on withdrawals due to adverse effects, which led to high uncertainty. At present, evidence is insufficient to justify lower blood pressure targets (135/85 mmHg or less) in people with hypertension and established cardiovascular disease. Several trials are still ongoing, which may provide an important input to this topic in the near future.

Review
Cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury is currently the disease with the highest mortality and disability rate of cardiovascular disease. Current studies have shown that nerve cells die of ischemia several hours after ischemic stroke, which activates the innate immune response in the brain, promotes the production of neurotoxic substances such as inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species and - nitrogen oxide, and mediates the destruction of blood-brain barrier and the occurrence of a series of inflammatory cascade reactions. Meanwhile, the expression of adhesion molecules in cerebral vascular endothelial cells increased, and immune inflammatory cells such as polymorphonuclear neutrophils, lymphocytes and mononuclear macrophages passed through vascular endothelial cells and entered the brain tissue. These cells recognize antigens exposed by the central nervous system in the brain, activate adaptive immune responses, and further mediate secondary neuronal damage, aggravating neurological deficits. In order to reduce the above-mentioned damage, the body induces peripheral immunosuppressive responses through negative feedback, which increases the incidence of post-stroke infection. This process is accompanied by changes in the immune status of the ischemic brain tissue in local and systemic systems. A growing number of studies implicate noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) as novel epigenetic regulatory elements in the dysfunction of various cell subsets in the neurovascular unit after cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury. In particular, recent studies have revealed advances in ncRNA biology that greatly expand the understanding of epigenetic regulation of immune responses and inflammation after cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury. Identification of aberrant expression patterns and associated biological effects of ncRNAs in patients revealed their potential as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, this review systematically presents recent studies on the involvement of ncRNAs in cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury and neuroimmune inflammatory cascades, and elucidates the functions and mechanisms of cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion-related ncRNAs, providing new opportunities for the discovery of disease biomarkers and targeted therapy. Furthermore, this review introduces clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Display as a possible transformative tool for studying lncRNAs. In the future, ncRNA is expected to be used as a target for diagnosing cerebral infarction/ischemia-reperfusion injury, judging its prognosis and treatment, thereby significantly improving the prognosis of patients.
